| Obverse description | The obverse displays the full coat of arms of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas prominently in the central field. The shield, quartered with a rising sun above a sailing ship, is supported on the dexter by a marlin and on the sinister by a flamingo, both rendered in fine relief. Above the shield rises an elaborate helm and mantling surmounted by a conch shell crest, while below a scroll bears the national motto FORWARD UPWARD ONWARD TOGETHER. The circular legend COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 1984 positioned in the lower field, all enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed depiction of a sand dollar (Clypeaster rosaceus) centrally placed within the field, its characteristic five-petalled floral pattern and lobed outline rendered with precise engraving. The surrounding legend, separated by raised dots, reads TEN DOLLARS along the upper arc and 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CENTRAL BANK OF THE BAHAMAS continuing around the lower periphery. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse, lending the issue a harmonious medallic character befitting its commemorative purpose. |
